[985]

The maps available at the following link will show "White Area" as private and "Green Shading as US Owned." Digital Maps :: U.S. Maps - Sniper Tools Design Co - Home of the Angle Cosine Indicator

The HuntingGPSmaps in the LRH gear shop will show you private ownership and will break down different coloring for different types of government ownership such as BLM, National Forest, State Trust, etc.

yes, we just got the GPSMAP 62s in house and it is the Best in my opinion

Very cool - I'm going to check that GPS out. And then if I wanted the map stuff from you guys, to know where private land is, I would get this one from you guys? And all of them show this info, not just Montana, right?:

I just ask because the top of that page specifies Montana (montana-land-owners-names-gps-map-with-topo.html)

Thanks for your time.

 

[GPSmaps]

yes, we have the plat book maps for all those states listed on the link you specified. CO, MT, WY, AK, ID, WA, OR

Check our website or call Len for exact details because owner names aren't included in some counties

 

[sdkidaho]

Where do I find that info on your website? Not that I mind calling Len, but if I can find it without hassling him then I would prefer that route.

Thanks again for your time.

Edit:
Maybe I answered my own question. If this is you guys then I have the answer already: http://www.huntinggpsmaps.com/idaho/gpspubliclandownership.html

I assume you're interested in Idaho, so here is the link to the map details for Idaho:

Hunting GPS Maps - ID-PLAT4GPS - Idaho Public/Private Land Ownership Topo GPS Map

If you're interested in another state you can browse by state from the map on home page or the navigation on the left side of the screen.

Thanks,
Eric

Ok - I have a Garmin GPSMAP 62s on the way and the SD card with the Idaho private land ownership coming as well.

Thanks for your help. That gps looks great and I'm excited to use the maps on it.

 

[sdkidaho]

Got both of them in the mail today! This gps looks pretty cool and the chip went right in and seems to be working great!

Any tips on using the chip information? It shows the people who own the land, is there also their contact info in there once you select it or just what the county has for them?

Also, in the directions it says to not transfer maps to the the gps from the computer when the chip is installed as it will be over written. If I install maps to the gps and then put the chip in, will I be able to see both?

 

[GPSmaps]

You can only query owner name, no contact info is available.

Yes, you can send maps to the GPS with the chip out and then be able to switch between any number of maps. See our Tutorial 7; Hunting GPS Maps - Turning On and Off Map Layers on your Garmin GPS

and Tutorial 6 might help

Any hope for at least the northwest quarter of South Dakota being captured for the Garmin 62?

 

[GPSmaps]

Not with Land Owner Names. Not for another couple years, sorry

 

[sdkidaho]

A couple more question.

Can I backup the SD card to my pc somehow, just in case I were to over-write it? Just wondering if I can put it in a reader and just copy the contents of the card to my hard drive...

I'm also wondering about this mapHunting GPS Maps - Idaho Game Management Unit- GMU Boundaries Transparent GPS Map) it says that it is a free download, but I don't seem to be able to download it in any way that doesn't require some form of payment. Am I missing something?

Thanks again for your time. The chip has helped me already. Unfortunately not for hunting, but at work its helped us locate landowners. Its been really nice to have.

 

[GPSmaps]

Yes, you can save the files on the SD card onto your computer in case you overwrite something, just put all the contents back on the card the same way they were.

You should be able to select Download Map then type in your information into the form and it will create a license for the Free map and email you information. Then login to MyMaps and download the map . . . Try it again

I have a question.
Do you have any plans to add active mining claims to the software?
I do a lot of prospecting and have to do a lot of research to find active claims and then when I'm out on the ground it's hard to know if I am on active claims.
Thanks
Neil
